How to become a good Newbie

[Dragoonclaws]

Hello,

Well first of all, Welcome to the Forums! Welcome to the Game. I hope you're having great fun! It's an awesome game, with an awesome community.

I've been helping many new players and they all have the same reflexes, and it's always annoying me, and other players too. I want to have fun helping new players. In order to keep this fun, here are few tips:

1. DO ask a high leveled player through PM (private message) for help before sending a party invite
2. DON'T send multiple party invites to the same person. Beleive me, he saw your party invite (unless he asks you to re-invite)
3. DON'T flee when the boss chases you. Keep battling and die, or just wait for the high leveled player to kill the boss for you
4. DON'T ask the helper to wait for you while fighting because you died: stay dead if the boss is almost dead, or revive if the boss is far from dying
5. DON'T ask for help to run Watcher's tomb, Kraag Tomb, Kraken mines, or any level scaled maps to a player that is NOT in your level range
6. DON'T trade someone in order to sell your items. Announce your selling/buying intentions and wait for a PM or a trade invite. Trust me, it's annoying
7. DO ask help from your guildmates through guild chat
8. DON'T use your friend list to PM people and sell your items
9. DON'T beg for free stuff, and eggs. Everybody worked for his wealth, and capped (lvl 41) players aren't all rich
10. DO ask for advice before buying an item. Good occasions were scams in many cases.
11. DON'T overprice the items you're selling
12. DON'T try to say curse words by disfiguring them (ex: Fak)
13. DON'T ask Sorcerers for mana. Not all sorcerers have mana skill, and we are all buying potions to burn them in order stay alive and do well
14. DO say "Sorry, I can't stay. Good bye" before leaving a guild. It's more respectful for the person who invited you
15. DO welcome new guild members. It helps keeping a healthy guild community
16. DO help the lower leveled players when they ask your help. Remember you've got help from higher leveled players too
17. DO leave the map, and leave the party before disconnecting
18. DO use party chat to inform others when you have to make them wait for any reason (full inventory, potions refuel, changing pet,stashing/selling/buying). Or leave the party
19. DO ask for guild rules when joining a guild. They are not all same
20. DON'T ask people to trade their banner. Banners are EARNED, not bought. (unless he has a flag, or love my mom banner) If you want a banner, reach the cap level: It awards a free banner)
21. DO ask question on forums, but first take a look for the same question in the first page: people must have asked the same question already
22. DO create threads in the right section. It will get moved anyways, you're just creating time-consumming job for moderators if you don't respect sections
23. DO say hello to Developper and moderators on global chat when you see them in town. Avoid PMing them, imagine how annoying 200 PMs in the same minute can be
24. DON'T blame warriors for not tanking well, just stay back
25. DO get yourself a Deary, it's the least you can have in this game

#3 is the most annoying one... I just leave when it happens...

well, that's what I have to say. I love helping players but when they do it wong, I just hate it. Have fun guys, and make it fun for all. I invite other players to add more DOs and DON'Ts
